6/30 Brewers (Sheets) vs CUBS (Marshall), 2:55pm, FOX, XM188

[inari]

I've been out most of the day, and jeeze... talk about the one thing that couldn't happen. It's really inexcusable on Marshall's part to have an outing like this.

 

Now just leave Scott Eyre in for the rest of the game and cut him when it's over.

[killthegoat06]

I didn't expect to sweep anyway. Thank god we won yesterday.

[illiniguy]

fielder gets one off the end of the bat, high and into a heavy gale and it's off the top of the wall. we have no one on this team capable of something like that.

 

brewers are winning the division, and they deserve it.

Right, if you really believe that guys like Estrada, Hardy, Jenkins, Hart will continue to way outpeform their career numbers. I think they come back to the pack in the second half big time. Hell even Prince Fielder is having a career year.

 

Estrada is actually having a below average year right now, other than his injury plagued 2005 he's been a .770+ OPS catcher. Hart projected as a .900ish OPS player so he could keep it up. Jenkins is doing exactly what would be expected of his 3 year average against righties. Hardy I'll give you though. This team is not playing over its head for the season.

Who in the hell predicted a 900OPS for Hart? Find me one publication that did.

 

His PECOTA 75th percentile is 904. His weighted mean is 870, so yeah, the most accurate projection system predicted it. He did OPS over 800 in the majors and over 900 MLE in the minors last year.

Ok, I guess I will have to concede some thought he would be pretty good. Just curious what did they project Murton as?

 

Probably right around where his BABIP normalized MLE is for this year since hes playing more than once a week in Iowa. PECOTAs weakness is it doesnt do a great job of factoring in incompetent management.

 

And obvioiusly its not going to be exactly correct about everyone, thats a ridiculous thought.

I was just curious, but I am glad the NSBB poster once again has to be an ass. This place is unreal anymore.

Hall steals 2B

[hawkcub]

Lou sounds like he realizes the game is over and no need to be overly upset.

[Magnetic Curses]

THAT'S WHAT I SAID.

 

Jesus Christ.

 

this is just a "wrong side of the bed" day, huh?

 

It is now.

 

relax, i can't recall ever having a problem with you, no sense in starting now.

 

Uh, I'm talking about the crappy game we're all in the thread about putting me in a bad mood.

 

for the record, "my sideways non-argument" was that the brewers have little, if any lineup weakness that i can tell.

[Sammy Sofa]

I didn't expect to sweep anyway. Thank god we won yesterday.

 

Yeah, but I think most of us were hoping for wins these first two games before Marquis.

[98navigator]

Eyre singles to CF

 

Eyre continues to suck, what new?

You know you suck when you are able to hit against yourself.

 

:wink:

 

Cherry warming in the 'pen. Mench has walked AGAIN.

[98navigator]

People, this ISN'T the amazing brewers offense, this is really bad pitching.

[Sammy Sofa]

Yikes, Mench walked for the 3rd time this series AND Billy Crystal and Robin Williams being awful. What a day.

[hawkcub]

I didn't expect to sweep anyway. Thank god we won yesterday.

 

Yeah, but I think most of us were hoping for wins these first two games before Marquis.

 

Not me I thought Sheets would handle us but we would win the other 2.

[Magnetic Curses]

People, this ISN'T the amazing brewers offense, this is really bad pitching.

 

the brewers have a pretty good offense.

Week out 5-4-3

Seemed as though you were trying to make a statement by pointing out a player who obviously has worse numbers this year than he should. But I guess you werent.

 

FYI, PECOTA predicted a weighted mean of 304/365/478 for Matty Mur.

[JGalt73]

I'm guessing Eyre gets ticked off that he's being used as a (deserved) sacrificial lamb here and starts throwing (more) balls down the middle.

[Sammy Sofa]

Phew, double play...Brewers finally not score.

[Sarcastic]

It is a good thing we got rid of Barrett. His game calling skills were really killing our staff.

[Soul]

Lou sounds like he realizes the game is over and no need to be overly upset.

 

Who is it tomorrow? Marquis? I wouldn't be feeling very relaxed.

[killthegoat06]

Holy crap. They didn't score.

Nope, I was just curious. I am a big Murton fan it hurt when I finally had to cut him this week in one of my fantasy leagues.

[98navigator]

Yeah, but I think most of us were hoping for wins these first two games before Marquis.

 

This game isn't over, but things aren't looking good right now... but you had to like their chances with the starting match-up.

 

curiously, Vegas made the Cubs favorites today

[killthegoat06]

It is a good thing we got rid of Barrett. His game calling skills were really killing our staff.

 

Yeah. I can deal with one crappy game started, but this is two in a row. Crap.

Aramis triples on a ball lost in the sun in RF

That's how I felt. The Cubs had the pitching advantage Friday, the Brewers did on Saturday, and Sunday was a tossup.

[Sammy Sofa]

Uhhhhh...

 

OK, I'll take it!
